Rhineland-Palatinate, a region in Germany, has continued its solar expansion momentum, with more than 500 MW of photovoltaics installed by the end of August 2025. According to the Energy Atlas Rhineland-Palatinate and the Market Data Register, these findings were reported on 31.08.2025.

The region has seen a sustained strong expansion in solar power, with the targeted expansion of 500 MW for the entire year being reached for the third year in a row by August. Of the total 519 MW, 320 MW were roof-mounted systems, including 26 MW from balcony power plants.

The district of Mayen-Koblenz leads in roof-mounted photovoltaic expansion, with 20.8 MW, while the district of Cochem-Zell has the highest expansion of free-field photovoltaics, with 69 MW, distributed across nine systems.

The municipality or city with the highest free-field photovoltaic expansion in 2025 is not explicitly specified in the available search results. Detailed regional data for Rhineland-Palatinate in 2025 is not directly provided.

It's worth noting that by the end of 2024, 916 MW were reached, indicating a significant increase in solar power installation in just one year. From January to August 2025, 519 MW of photovoltaics were installed, suggesting a similarly high result for the current year.

The data was retrieved on 10.09.2025, and everything points to a promising future for solar energy in Rhineland-Palatinate.
